Work Reform

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

Wishful thinking, the internet is not everyone. I'd love it if he'd ran, but there's no way to know if he'd have performed better, and people turned out for his opponent in the primaries.
Yeah hindsight is always 20/20 and maybe trump still would've won but I do think there was a strong chance he could've won with all the grassroots canvassing and a track record of standing up for civil liberties.
Both parties serve the same master, it's just a different version of "good cop, bad cop".
They really don't. Bernie is the good cop, Harris is the mildly conservative but would still run a precinct cop, trump is like literally letting the mob boss take over the police station.
I mean I would much, much rather be locked in a room with someone playing the good cop role.
Me too lol. But I know the bad cop is just outside the door and he's gonna come back in eventually.
Bingo. Bernie lost the popular vote in both primaries. Not sure why it's so hard for people to accept this.
I like Bernie. I'd vote for him for president. But my wishes aren't reality. He wasn't popular on a scale necessary to win.
Right?
